Add a little oil to the pot, then add 1 green bell pepper and 1 red bell pepper, chopped.

Add 2 ribs of celery, 2 carrots, and 1 whole onion, all chopped, to the pot.

Sauté the vegetables for a short time until they are colorful.

Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic to the vegetables.

Stir in 1 tablespoon of Better Than Bouillon beef base and 1 tablespoon of tomato paste.

Add a can of diced tomatoes and a can of tomato sauce to the pot, stirring to combine.

Cut frozen corn on the cob in half and add it to the soup.

Add 1 head of chopped cabbage to the pot, adding it in batches if necessary as it will shrink down.

Pour in 4 cups of beef broth and stir everything together.

Season the soup with adobo seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, complete seasoning, and Cajun seasoning.

Cover the pot and let the soup simmer until the cabbage is tender, stirring occasionally.

After the cabbage has shrunk, add the browned ground beef back into the pot.
